Since you asked for a critique, I have to first ask, "what did you envision as the subject?". It's a bit of a rhetorical question since it is obvisously the bee. Nevertheless, the flower does jump out at the viewer, taking the attention off the bee somewhat. How about a tighter crop (or capturing a closer image), which isoloates the bee while putting it in a "rule of thirds" layout? Maybe something like this (but larger).

Great details! Nevertheless, The top and bottom borders take away from the image, IMO. (6)

Very sharp. I wish the feathers were more white, though. (6)

Nice and crisp image, but the white balance is a bit off, IMHO. (6)

What's that above your left shoulder, Robert (up against the ceiling)? Are those bamboo steamer plates, like for tortillas?
